 Yes - the PCB could have been colored black - or yellow instead of old school green, but I am not able to see it once installed anyway, so it does not matter much to me.  I tried finding info on it such as TRIM, drivers or encryption, but it DOES have all wear leveling features but no encryption. I did not mind the absence of encryption since my Teamgroup (which beat my old 860 Samsung by a lot) SSD did not have encryption or it's own drivers or firmware updates. Once this was installed - it blew away the Teamgroup, the old Samsung and it made my already speedy PC feel like a new PC!  The Samsung that I had always tested below the advertised speed

 Even GTA V loads quicker! I am running a 32" at 1440P.  I am glad that when I was picking up the Samsung (before I placed this order!), I returned it right then and there, as I saved about $55 and GAINED a whole lot in performance. SK said that they would revise their website and provide a toolbox (they should have had one before launch - for such a large company), but I am HAPPY that I made this purchase and I trusted this brand because they actually design, MANUFACTURE and SUPPLY the memory to other brands, so of course they know what they are doing more than the other brands!  I give this the same praise as the pro reviewers do! The performance and the price make this a no contest for other brands! You get the performance (or better) of other brands TOP (most expensive) drives or better - for only $135! Again, SK Hynix MAKES the memory, so that is why they can bring such high quality for so low! If you do not know companies that are involved with the sources of PC components - just trust us and get this!

 The Teamgroup drive tested 3110 read and 2008 write when the specs called for 3300 and 2500. The SK tested (using Samsung Magician) 3440 read and 3241 write! This is the first drive I had that got just about at the stated speeds! The increased write speeds truly make a difference in all functions! I was not sure of the benefits of faster write speeds, but once I started checking websites and DOWNLOADING games, playing games and video editing - I THEN noticed the benefits! Downloads now write as fast or faster than the internet bandwidth.  Games like GTA V (or anything, truth be told) have full draw, INCREASED detail, coloring, speed, frames/smoothness and overall performance! It is clear-cut with this drive! There is ZERO performance hits that I noticed with this - only performance increases and a CONSISTENT performance throughout all testing! Photoshop loads a lot quicker. Vegas Pro loads quicker

.) - until I decided to do one last search before I sealed the deal!  The Samsung would have cost me $195 after taxes, but I looked and I kept seeing reviews on this drive and I remember that SK Hynix did have drives, but they were not listed on 'other' sites that I was thinking about buying from. EVERY review rates this drives as near perfect and the fastest PCIE 3.0 drive on most levels - especially write speed, and it is second to NONE in power efficiency and low power use! The only negatives are the PCB color (for some) and some small read drop off when compared to some, but it is still near the top

 I did not mind the absence of encryption since my Teamgroup (which beat my old 860 Samsung by a lot) SSD did not have encryption or it's own drivers or firmware updates.

Simple Questions - January 30, 2022

 The system tested, took 12 seconds to boot Windows 10 counting from the time I pressed the power button. I have tested several SSDs, and that is the fastest the system will boot. I have noticed that any drive with read speeds of 1800 MB/s or better will accomplish the task.  The SK hynix P31 500GB surpassed the advertised write speeds of 3100 MB/s reaching 3183

  I dropped a star since the software available was pretty much useless and many similar drives provide hardware encryption.  SK hynix P31 is a fast SSD and a good price point and fares even better if you could get one when discounted. If you do not need that much speed (most of us don't), you could get a less expensive SSD with even more capacity.

 I have noticed that any drive with read speeds of 1800 MB/s or better will accomplish the task.  The SK hynix P31 500GB surpassed the advertised write speeds of 3100 MB/s reaching 3183.53 MB/s. It felt short on advertised read speed of 3500 MB/s reaching just 3440

91 MB/s.  On real word test it managed to reach 2787 MB/s write speed and 2209 MB/s read speed. I transferred 70 GB of mixed data from another SSD with 3500 MB/s read speed. If you don't write that much data , filing up the SSD SLC cache, then the P31 will run a lot faster

High write performance, top endurance rating and runs cool.

 These days I operate my own photographic and design studio and have an HP graphics workstation that is substantially more sophisticated than most typical PC’s. My language is performance, not benchmark tests under ideal conditions or what manufacturers put on their spec sheets. The company who makes workstations like mine has installed Hynix memory for a very long time in their products, it’s what I buy when I upgrade memory. Due to the heavy use my systems get I was shopping for 1TB SSD’s and did a lot of research

 When I plugged my new Hynix into the slot and powered up my computer it was absolutely flawless, every app, every file, every preference, ever login, they were all exactly when they used to be only now I had a much larger, faster and brand-new main drive.

 The support docs are free and helpful no matter what your skill level is. This is especially true if you are doing a data migration from your boot drive to a new SSD, the risk of some data not transferring or being corrupted is too great, which is also a definite mandatory to back up everything you own before even diving in.  YES OR NO  This brings me to the bottom line a lot faster than I usually get there when evaluating a product. I’ll tell you why I chose this one and from there you’re on your own

  YES OR NO  This brings me to the bottom line a lot faster than I usually get there when evaluating a product. I’ll tell you why I chose this one and from there you’re on your own. I put about ten percent of my choice on it being the right form factor and configuration to fit and work in my system and a full ninety percent on trusting this brand to give me the best performance in its price range. As a side note, if you are closer to the novice level you shouldn’t have to worry about cloning your system boot drive over to this as your new one - the app they include (while not being the most sophisticated ever made) is excellent

Why I chose this one

Don't buy this for a PS5. It doesn't meet the minimum requirements. It may work well in a PC or laptop. The search engine for Amazon needs a lot of work

Not for PS5

Installed this 2TB as system drive in a Dell G7 17 laptop, replacing the original Hynix PC611 1TB NVMe, to get some more storage space (a WD SN550 2TB is already installed in the second M.2 slot). This 2TB runs a bit faster than the old 1TB Hynix but it also runs hotter. The old Hynix would idle at around 30C but the new 2TB idles around 40C

 Has the same original heat shield/heat sink installed. But even the other WD 2TB with a heat shield heats up to about 59C with just a sustained read, so I'm not too concerned about the rise in temperature as I'm not playing games much, apart from Microsoft Flight Simulator now and again. It was an easy install as I used the Hynix System Migration Utility software (free download from their site) and it copied over the C & D partitions without a hitch. What did happen unfortunately was that after the clone install, the second NVMe (WD) suddenly had Bitlocker applied and I needed to get into Microsoft account to retrieve the 48 digit key to unlock it every time I rebooted! What a pain, and very strange as I have Windows 11 Home version which doesn't support Bitlocker! Took a bit of research but eventually got it removed

Early days, but it looks like the drive is very good, so recommended if you can still source one.

Fast in a Dell G7.

" "A driver is installed that causes stability problems on this version of Windows and it will be disabled. Check..

 But for mine, this is now a $100+ paperweight.  ------  Here's the thing; this drive is fast. It's lightning fast I was absolutely delighted upon installing it. Except for one MASSIVE un-fixable problem

 which I've been attacking since March 2021. That problem completely prevents me from updating past an old & *no longer supported* version of Windows10 to the May 2019 update (Windows 10 May 2019 Update (version 1903)).  This is obviously not great for security reasons, but was at first workable. As more time goes on, however, this is becoming a seriously limiting problem for more and more software requires at least Win10 version 1903and this dang thing CANNOT ALLOW MY COMPUTER TO RUN IT

 There's no way to change this, and it prevents updating to Win10 version 1903+. If you have an AMD machine already, maybe you'll have no trouble. But for mine, this is now a $100+ paperweight.  ------  Here's the thing; this drive is fast

Fast hard drive. Completely unusable due to wild RAID driver issues (see review)

The Tech Tank

 So I had someone buy a new drive for us which I will not name at this time (otherwise it's like I am shilling for another company). So far the other drive works perfectly and I doubt it will happen again, but if it crashes after 20-26 days, I'll be back here to raise the star rating.  Overall, I bet the drive is great, but I wasted a lot of time and effort helping my brother which would have been nice if the drive did not fail. I will boost the rating if the new drive fails as then it would be fair, but at this state I believe I am being fair with the review

I bet the drive works well, but I got a lemon

 We should probably move on to benchmarks that matter a heck of a lot more to real workloads that we actually care about, and first up a classic boot to windows and we're only really looking at the p5 and pcie 4.0 drive, because i'm way too lazy to Install windows on all of my drives and dang both of these drives got to the desktop fast from initial boot. The p5 took about 16 seconds to load up the os, while the pcie 4.0 drive came out on top with a little over 14 seconds speedy stuff

 Unfortunately, the drive doesn't ship with its own heatsink, as some more expensive drives do and as we'll see a little later during the benchmarks. You'Re probably gon na need one, but i like to think that if you're buying a drive like this you'll be pairing it with a motherboard that ships with its own m.2 heatsinks software-wise the p5 pairs great with the crucial storage executive tool, which you can use to Easily upgrade the drive's firmware, monitor, temps and other stats clone your drive and mess around with security settings. It also lets you enable momentum cache, which essentially speeds the drive up even more in certain scenarios, by utilizing some of your spare ram, and now that we know a little more about the p5, let's go ahead and see what this thing can actually do

 Finally, taking high-speed ssds and running with them, we're definitely going to see games built to take advantage of that speed, more and more moving forward, which brings us back to the p5 while the p5 is priced well, looks great and performs as advertised. It does, unfortunately suffer from one big fall. It gets a little too toasty for my liking without a dedicated heatsink to cool it down the drive side at around 54 degrees at idle and jumped all the way up to 75 degrees, while under heavy load like during huge file transfers, while those temps aren't horrible By any means, they do make it one of the harder drives i've actually used, which is why i said earlier that, if you're buying a drive like this, i hope you're planning to pair it with a board that comes with its own dedicated m.2 heatsinks

 But first, let's get to know the p5. A little bit more, shall we, the p5 is a pcie gen, 3 nvme, so not quite as speedy as the new gen 4 drives that everyone's drooling over right now, but with quoted sequential, read and write speeds of 3 400 and 3 000 megabytes per second respectively. The boy ain't no slouch either the p5 range of ssds are all the m.2 2280 variety meaning the drives are 22 millimeters wide and 80 millimeters long, and they come in capacities ranging from 250 gigabyte all the way up to 2 terabytes, the p5s also ship with Crucial'S beefy new proprietary, 3rd gen, 6, core controllers and price wise

NINGUN PROBLEMA

 I tried 3 different calls and two chat sessions, aweful experience.  I know that Windows 10 disabled hardware encryption by default a year or so ago but I also know the workarounds using GPO. Nothing worked, Bios was set for UEFI, and a lot of other settings and registry changes made. Result is not to use HW encryption on this hardware, Even if I got it working, I doubt its reliability and sustainability

 Nothing worked, Bios was set for UEFI, and a lot of other settings and registry changes made. Result is not to use HW encryption on this hardware, Even if I got it working, I doubt its reliability and sustainability.  For now, I'll keep the drive but will never buy Crucial products again.

I purchased the SSD based on the claimed spec and performance. After fitting on a new i5 desktop system, I ran a few disk testing utilities and found that the claimed performance is way exaggerated. Its about 50-70% of the numbers claimed. I am not a gamer and don't need intensive I/O so, I'll move on

Not as described, horrible support

 I reinstalled my old one and booted from it and formatted the new drive and started over. (I was not wasting time "fixing" a fresh CLONE. Who was to say other errors might not show up later?) I wanted to be safe versus sorry. Shortcuts get me in trouble sometimes

2 connection and a SATA connection. At least one of each to do the following. Otherwise, you will need to search online on how to clone your hard drive with what your present setup looks like.) Most laptops and computers have at least 2 connections

 A+ Product. UserBenchmarks: Crucial's P5 500gb M.2 got a score = 258% (exceptional.) My WD Black SN750 NVMe PCIe M
